Chapters address broad substantive questions concerned with what engagement is or looks like, and how it can be theorized for the language classroom; methodological questions related to the design, measurement and analysis of engagement in language classrooms and beyond; as well as applied issues examining its antecedents, factors inhibiting and enhancing it, and conditions fostering the re-engagement of language learners who have become disengaged. Through a mix of conceptual and empirical chapters, the book explores similarities and differences between motivation and engagement and addresses questions of whether, how and why learners actually do exert effort, allocate attention, participate and become involved in tangible language learning and use. It will serve as an authoritative benchmark for future theoretical and empirical research into engagement within the classroom and beyond, and will be of interest to anyone wishing to understand the unique insights and contributions the topic of engagement can make to language learning and teaching.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>In the best of times, when schools are functioning optimally, student engagement is central to quality education. At times of upheaval, when new modes of learning and teaching are being improvised and trialled, it is imperative that we understand how to generate, sustain and measure student engagement. This book could not be more timely and will have enduring value.</p>-- "Martin Lamb, University of Leeds, UK"<br><br><p>This edited volume renders itself an important and timely contribution as it fruitfully demystifies engagement, the complex construct or meta-construct through comprehensively delving into the conceptualizations and operationalizations of engagement and exemplifying empirical research in the field of second language acquisition.</p>--Jian-E Peng and Yuanlan Jiang, Shantou University, China "Applied Linguistics 2021: 1-5"<br><br>For anyone who has ever taught unengaged second language (L2) learners, this volume explores the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social aspects of engagement.
